Why do restaurants always take the time to do it?
In professional kitchens, this step is almost always part of the preparation. It allows you to obtain:
-
- a more distinct flavor
- a more pleasant texture
- an impeccable presentation
It's also a simple way to offer a more refined culinary experience.
